On 2019, Greece approves €400,000 Govt Bonds and Bank deposit for Golden visas.
It says "Depositing at least 400,000 euros for at least 12 months at a domestic credit institution".
So can I get the money out of the bank and keep the golden visa forever then?
This site says no:
The Golden Visa for Greece is issued for five years and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you maintain the investment.
The government webpage also says that, in legalese:
The duration of validity of the residence permit is for five years and is subject to renewal for an equal period each time, provided the implementation of the investment or its operation is continued after its completion.
